Walbro 255 fuel pump HELP!!!

[_95GST_]

Walbro 255 LPH, I ordered a 190 LPH fuel pump but they sent me a 255 do you think that the 255 is to much fuel for this setup, MHI evo3 16g with 34mm gate, down pipe, FMIC 28x10.5x3, FIC 650cc injectors, DSMlink, 2 1/2'' catback exhaust, hi flow cat, dejon intake and 2g install kit, what do you think? Thanks

I don't think that its too much fuel. But you you will need a FPR and that way you will have room to grow in the future.

do you think it would be ok to run it with out the FPR for a wile?

The effects are up guessing... your stock FPR may handle it intermittently, it may not. Don't risk it though. Just hold off installing it till you get the FPR or return the 255 for the 190 and don't worry about an FPR.

Also, you should get some new injectors.... 550 cc to go along with your setup needs, or else you won't see the performance you want.

My best advice don't try to JuryRig your car...

[Edit: I didn't see you haveing listed the 650cc injectors... I thought you were going to run stock one and wanted to advice you that wouldn't work.. sorry]

Borrow money and get it now, the cost will be paid for by the gas money you'll save in no time.

the 650cc injectors should be fine for quite a while with tuning. i second what everyone else is saying though, do it right the first time. without an fpr you'll quickly overrun the stock fuel system. along the same lines as venting, get all the supporting mods you need to safely run it rather than throwing it in now and having problems.

make sure it's adjustable and rises with boost w/ 1:1 ratio as well.

Which one? Just making sure you don't end up with a B&M Command Flow or some ebay knock off.

Megan Racing

I remember reading a thread on that unit, you should search and read up on it before you commit. Proper fuel regulation is extremely crucial to tuning, it isn't an area to save money on.

If you aren't happy with what you find on the Megan, the ImportEvolution Aeromotive kit is a great setup ... though I am not sure of your price range...

I have no experience with the Megan, nor really read much on it. So like Oldman said, make sure its a 1:1 and if its a price you like then your good to go

Although the 190 will take you alot farther then people think...

You have the 255 now so you might as well get an AFPR and be done with it.

 

[snoozin]

definitely listen to oldman here, i cant remeber where that thread was but i was looking at it the other day trying to decide what afpr setup i'm going to go with. i'd definitely do some searching to decide what you want to go with.

They also have the TurboSmart T-Reg Series STREET FPR for abot $110 more what do you think about that one?

 

[Slippi84]

Yeah I wish I had problems like you. That's like ordering a fp green and getting sent a 3065 The pump won't make you run to much fuel thats your injectors and fuel pressure that would do that the pump just makes it so you can support more fuel. Get that afpr and you will be on your way to a really good fuel system that will support whatever that 16g can throw at it.

Do your own research damm it...

I'm a play it safe type of guy, I like to stick to what has been proven to work....consistantly on crucial components, I have the Aeromotive unit.

 

[snoozin]

depending on what you already have that's going to take some fabricating to make it work and fit. also on a quick google search for it, turbosmart.com has a page that indicates it's not suitable for any race gas, leaded or unleaded. not sure how much you're looking at but i'd try to find a kit that has a proven fpr (haven't heard anything bad about aeromotive or the busher fpr) and wait on shipping.

probably the cheapest you'll find the aeromotive with a bolt on setup.

Yea the TurboSmart T-Reg Series STREET is a 1:1 and I talk to the guy and he said that this one is beter then the Megan, and its only $160 so I tink I will just get that one

I would strongly recommend the Import Evolution kit linked to above. I run one and it's been excellent thus far with the pushlock setup. The Megan has a tendency not to rise at a 1:1 rate and I know nothing about those TurboSmart units. Get a kit with an Aeromotive regulator and know that you're getting the right part the first time.

Also, running without an AFPR on a 255 has the potential to do more than make you run rich. In certain cases, the fuel pressure can be so high that it will literally wash fuel past the rings and dilute the oil. Doing this right the first time will make for much easier tuning as well.
